The Paul C. Buff TS13AC 13ft. Air Cushioned Light Stand is a heavy-duty, professional-grade support designed for studio photographers who need both height and security. Reaching an impressive maximum height of 13 feet, this 4-section stand is ideal for overhead lighting, large softboxes, and high-angle background illumination. Its robust aluminum construction is finished in a sleek non-reflective black, ensuring it remains inconspicuous during shoots.
Pro-Level Safety & Stability
Air-Cushioned Design: Each section features internal air cushioning to prevent accidental “crashes.” If a locking knob is released while a heavy light is mounted, the section will slowly and safely descend, protecting your expensive flash units and your fingers.
Four-Section Telescoping: The 4-section design allows for a vast height range while maintaining a manageable folded size for transport and storage.
Wide Base Footprint: The stand features a generous leg spread to provide a stable center of gravity, crucial when extending lights to their maximum height or using large modifiers in a busy studio environment.
Professional Utility
Standard 5/8″ Stud: Equipped with a universal 5/8″ top stud, it is fully compatible with almost all professional strobe units, including the Paul C. Buff Einstein, AlienBees, and DigiBee lines.
Durable Hardware: High-quality locking collars and knobs are designed for repeated daily use, providing a secure, slip-free grip even when supporting maximum loads.
Retractable Legs: The legs fold up tightly against the center column, making it easy to store in a standard light stand bag or corner of the studio.
